BloOmed thro' each suniit, golden hour,
Kissed by the winged moth and bee,
But now it grows no more for me.
Yet winter smote not with its blast

In It's full prime it ceased to be,
And now it grows no more for me.

Of lified flowers, cease, cease your glee,.
For now it grows no more for ME.

spread and looked like ringworm, and became
very painful. | at once went to one Of the best
doctors in the city and he could do me no good.
No less than twelve of the best doctors have had

and had given UP all hopes of ever being any
better. Last June went to Moosehead Lake,
Maine. to cook for the season. My face was so
bad did not like TO be seen. At the lake met
a gentleman from England. He told me TO use
your CUTIcURA REMEDIES and they would cure

weeks the sores on my face were healed up.

H. Weller to have the ceremony performed.
DIR. Weller was out of the city, and they
were directed to Mr.. Knight, pastor of st.
Andrews church, in East Jacksonville, but
he, too, was absent. The reporter, who fol-
lowed them, could ascertain nothing further
than that they had taken an afternoon train
for ST. Augustine.
Two roughs named Dolph Richard and
Jack Chaneey went to Maclenny on the
1850 train Sunday evening for the purpose
of running the town" as they expressed it.
They had plenty of whisky, and by7 o'clock
in the evening they were both pretty full
and began to got noisy. They cursed and
swore around the streets and became gener-
ally disorderly. Richard drew a slungfshot
on darkey named George Jackson, but the
darkey got away from him. About 7:3O
o'clock the men started toward the Method
ist church, where a meeting was going on,
but on their way up there Sheriff Van Bus
kirk and Marshal Pearce arrested them and
put guard of three men with double
barrelled guns over them. The next morn
ing they were brought up before the Mayors
Court and were fined $50 and costs, each,
and Richard was bound over to the Justice
Court for carrying concealed weapons, and
will, in all probability, be bound over TO
court. They are both desperate characters,
and both hail from Lake Butler

Undoubtedly it was a genuine shock of
Notwithstanding altogether different
from the light tremors previously felt.
1--WE must run for it, | shouted.
Just then another shock came and threw
us heavily to the ground. We rose in
dazed condition and saw within few feet
Of us yawning chasm fully three feet wide
aud hundred feet long. 1t emitted a vol
ume of steam, and with inconceivable
rapidity closed up with another jar that
almost toppled us over again
We started on run for the raft.
"Where is Dupontp
We all asked this question at once. The
raft was in sight but Sam was the only occu-
pant. We faced about, but could see moth
ing of the missing man. Had he in his
terror taken the wrong directions 1t would
not do to leave him, and there was nothing
to do but retrace our steps.
We yelled out his name and traversed
every foot of the island There was not a
trace of our friend. We looked at each
other with terror-stricken faces. The same
thought was uppermost in the minds of all
Had Dupont been swallowed up in the
yawning chasm It looked very much like
it. Again we resumed our search, but with
out any better success than before. Then
we gloomily made our way to the raft and
padded to the other shore Isuggested that
Dupont had rtshetf6ff when the shock came,
and, blinded by the smoke, he had perhaps
fallen into the lake.
"No, Marse Ross" said Sam, gloomily.
Hes done swallowed up in de bowels oh de
yairth Hits done happened befo'.' Use
heered many time dat Injuns and hunters
wuz lost hear just dat way useter laugh
at em as fairy tales but members dem
now and knows dem fur de troof."
A hurried search around the lake com
PEELED us to accept Sans explanation, and
we took up our line of march without a halt
until we reached the settlements
We had new trouble to face. Peopl e
would not believe our story. At first they
were inclined to think that we had killed
Dupont, but that theory was soon aban-
doned, and it was held that our friend had
drowned himself in the lake.
Under the circumstances there was moth
ing to be gained by discussing the matter
with strangers. We left the simple country
people sticking to the belief that Dupont
was under the lake somewhere, but we knew
as well as we knew anything that he had
fallen headlong into the very centre of the
focal fires raging SO fiercely i'll that slumber-
ing volcano
